Busy bee...,

I know it's been forever since i've posted, but i've been really busy.
Not only was it Bloomsburg Fair week, one of my favorite weeks of the whole year, but we've had lots of places to go and people to see. Parties to attend, and work to do.
And then this week, i've been busy trying to finish things up for Mady's birthday party tomorrow. And let me tell you, that's no easy feat!
I'm buying decorations, filling treat bags, putting together presents, ordering and buying food, and of course baking the cakes!
Baking the cakes, i thought, was going to be the hardest part. But surprisingly, they are coming out really nicely. I can't wait to show them off. Mady already loves them, so that's a good sign.
Stay tuned for pictures of the party, in case you can't join us!

It's Eggie time...

Here is our most recent picture of E.E. Frank thinks he/she looks like an alien. Maybe it's a bit true, but that's MY alien dam it!

This baby is going to be AS stubborn if not MORE so than Mady. He/She would not co-operate at all when it came to picture time. It was all belly, and we finally got a few straight on shots at the end. Not to mention that his/her hands were always, and i mean always, in front of his/her face. At least Mady gave us a few shots!

In any case, you can see his/her eyes, nose and mouth here. One arm is flailing in the air on top, while the other one is kinda under the head, sorta on the cheek. Both legs are tucked up, since he/she was lying on their belly a few seconds prior, and apparently that's the comfy thing to do.

So what do you think, does E.E. look more like a boy or a girl?!

Sleepover party!

Well, i knew the time had to come eventually. One day she was going to grow up and leave me. I guess it's inevitable!
Mady is going on her first sleepover tonight :(
She is staying at my mom's house because we have a wedding to go to today. We originally planned all this BEFORE i got pregnant, anticipating that we would be going out AFTER the reception as well. Guess that's not happening, lol.
But i must say, it will be nice to sleep in for once in 3 months.
And even though she's only around the block, i'm still going to be horribly sad and worried. Not because my mom hasn't watched a baby overnight in, oh, say, 27 years...but because sometimes Mady is a handful, and she won't be here when i wake up...and i won't be able to hear her breathing when i fall asleep. Ugh, i'm going to cry now.
It will be ok.
Other kids do it.
She'll be thrilled.
I will live.
Hopefully she'll be good, because i'm sure with 2 kids i'm going to want more sleepovers so i can stay sane...maybe

Mmmmm...Tuna?!?!

So usually i make dinner before i leave for work, so that way i know Mady is eating something healthy for dinner instead of just burgers/dogs/cheesesteaks/fries everyday. Well, i decided we were going to have Tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwiches for dinner. I didn't want to make it ahead of time, because that particular entree is not really good reheated...plus, i figured it was something Frank could handle and not burn. Well, he made dinner for himself and Mady, but there wasn't any left for me. This is where it gets weird. When i got home, i decided i wanted a tuna salad sandwich...a tuna salad sandwich!! I NEVER eat tuna! Well, not never, but very rarely. But man, was that good! I could have eaten 100 sandwiches and been happy. Weird.

Really?!

I may not be the smartest at everything.
I may not be the quickest at everything.
I may not be anywhere NEAR the best at everything.
But some people really just need to be smacked upside their heads!

You look so good...

I am starving, have i mentioned that yet?!
And i know what you're saying...Eat already then!
Easier said than done.
It happens at breakfast, it happens at dinner...lunch is about my only escape.
I make a normal plate of food, not too much, just right.
I eat MAYBE half.
I can't put another bite in my mouth without puking.
Frank yells at me to just puke already and i would be able to eat more.
Somehow that doesn't seem satisfying.
So i sit and stare at the food, wishing i could eat it because i'm practically starving.
But NO!

Surprise!!

A little birdie told me a secret...

I'm going to be a Big Sister!!
